      Atari STe (TOS1.6) users, you get this bug too?

   First I'd like to say thanks to Robert Bergeski for uploading his 
 RUNBUG.TXT file (file #16563 on GEnie). It just helped me in taking
 another look at the annoying bug with TOS 1.6 that gives the PRINT,
 SHOW,CANCEL alert box when you double-click on a .PRG,.TOS,.TTP file.
 I've been puzzled over this bug for about a week now. After owning 
 the STe (still 1meg) for about a month now.  I've also heard this bug 
 sometimes appears with TOS 1.4 also? If so this might be a temporary 
 fix for TOS 1.4 users too. I'm sure if you've run into it you know what 
 it is! Though I did get the same results as Robert by using his example, 
 I've come to a similar but different conclusion to the cause of this 
 bug!!  
   
   The reason I checked into this more:(I was ready to give up, And 
 curse Atari in my grief.<GRIN>) But I was getting the bug by double-
 clicking on a filename with 5 characters in the filename (ex: ULTRA.
 PRG) which was in a folder called ULTRA. The bug will appear with or
 without the STEFIX installed (I know that isn't suppose to correct this
 bug anyway, but I was hopeful!) Also, it will appear from either drive
 A: or B: and I'd assume from hard drive too. Also note that after already
 having the disks directory open the bug doesn't seem to appear as much, 
 but usually everytime when the directory is first opened! 
 OK, My ideas/conclusions: If you'll notice my above example, there is 5 
 characters in both the filename and the folder name. When double-clicking
 on ULTRA.PRG in the following example:
   
           A:\ULTRA\ULTRA.PRG   
                                there's the bug. 

 OK, Now try 6 characters in the folder name and 4 characters in the 
 filename in that folder... Double-click on ULTR.PRG. 

           A:\ULTRA1\ULTR.PRG 
                                There's the bug.
 
 OK, Now try 8 totally different characters in the folder name and 2 in
 the filename in that folder... Now double-click on 12.PRG. 
 
           A:\12345678\12.PRG 
                                There's the bug again!! 
   As long as you have a total of 10 characters in both the folder name 
 and filename there's the bug! I've tried different programs also. 
 *IF you find this bug annoying you: Just add one character to your folder 
 name or filename, that should do it! I think this is it! I'd really like 
 to hear any feedback from other STe users on this and hear what you find!
 Robert, let me know what you think. I'm really glad there's others out 
 there that are looking into things like this and glad there's a way to 
 communicate our findings! I also agree this is one fast operating system.
 And hope there's a fix or upgrade to this otherwise great TOS in the 
 future! Well let me know if this works for you!! Or if you even got the 
 bug?
